Hardcore Gamer: We no longer own the entire game when we purchase it. We own it for as long as the company feels like letting us play it, which in some cases is not much longer than a couple of years. Games without significant single player campaigns or local multiplayer options can be rendered nothing more than novelty paperweights on a moments notice. This is the new generation of gaming, and I love it and hate it more than I can easily articulate.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
There are some epic PlayStation Plus Premium shooters, from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series to the high-stakes action of Doom published by Bethesda.
While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.
My take:
Single player
3, 2, 1
Multiplayer
3, 1, 2
Overall
3, 2, 1
I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.
Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.
I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.
I agree, it's a very scary thought that things like Titanfall could be rendered useless in years to come. Yet I'll always be able to play my copy of Glover as god intended.
R:FoM was much fun offline, it's such shame to see it go.
Thank Captain Planet that I'm not into multiplayer. I'm the type that loves going back and playing some of my older games from time to time. If be mad if a big part of them turned unplayable.
If they allowed people to run their own servers like you can with some PC games then you'd be able to play online as long as their was a community ready to run those servers.
That's the great thing about old PC games like Battlefield 2. People are still running the servers and playing them.
Dedicated servers are great from a technical viewpoint, but their drawback is apparent.
Peer 2 peer gaming is far from ideal, but at least we can enjoy the game much longer.
Why not options for both? It's not that difficult to implement during development.
